Kenya’s efforts to curb deadly inter-clan clashes in the eastern Tana River area and track down the perpetrators is being undermined by the sluggish pace of police reforms, Inspector General David Kimaiyo said.

An explosion at a church compound in Kenya’s northeastern town of Garissa near the largest refugee camp housing Somalia refugees killed two people and injured at least four, police spokesman Eric Kiraithe said.

Kenyan police fired tear gas at rioters and a grenade blast wounded an officer in the port city of Mombasa in the second day of unrest since the killing of a Muslim cleric under U.S. and UN sanctions, police said.
